My Cartoonist Strategy

The editorial department of "New World" started a mess from the day after the sale of the new magazine.

The sales delivered by the major bookstores are better than in the past few issues, which makes the editor feel that the sales of "New World" may show an upward trend for the first time after several months of decline.

The same is true. On the third day, major bookstores called in pre-orders, and the new issue of "New World" had to print 50,000 copies.A day later, at the urging of the bookstore, the printing house printed another 30,000 copies, which barely met the needs of the bookstore.

More than half of the readers who were lost before.

Sales are temporarily inferior to the revised version of "Dreamer", and the benefits of "Y's" to "New World" are not comparable to "Shaky", but the editor-in-chief is very content.

After all, he didn't pay too much.

Who is the first color page?Only 100 posters were printed and distributed to several large bookstores; there were also advertisements in those half-page publications, and only one page was added, and by the way, three advertising spaces were sold.

Perhaps the biggest expense is the printing of Iori's color pictures on the back of the questionnaire.

People can't be too greedy and have such a result, which has already satisfied him.

The only thing that surprised him was that Mingming magazine had more sales, but the questionnaires it received did not increase.

But even so, the magazine still received 60,000 or 70,000 questionnaires and extracted 1,000 of them, which is not difficult.

After the results of the questionnaire survey were counted, the editor-in-chief found Yan Wei smilingly and handed her the statistics table, "Tell Teacher Shen Zheng that you must be arrogant and restless."

Yan Wei glanced at the statistical results and raised his eyebrows slightly, which was slightly inconsistent with the expectations in his mind. "Editor-in-Chief, I want to go to Teacher Shen to receive the manuscript of the third episode and the name of the fourth episode."

"No problem, these things, just do it yourself." The editor waved his hand, just took two steps, and turned back, "Yes, many readers sent letters to Teacher Shen, you pick Send some to him?"

"Okay." Yan Wei nodded quickly.

Letters from readers have little meaning for the author's creation.They just tell cartoonists their ideas, and some content even tends to be idealized.If the cartoonist cares too much about the reader's opinion, the created comic is easy to deviate, and in the end, only one result remains-the story collapses.

Therefore, these letters related to the suggestion should not be read by cartoonists, but the editor can't know the content of the letter without tearing the envelope, and can only choose some envelopes that are pleasing to the eye.

Putting dozens of selected letters in a paper bag, Yan Wei took the subway and hurried to Shen Xin's studio.

Knocking on the door, Yan Fan followed Qiao Yu into the room.

Ruan Ying held the D pen and concentrated on drawing the background. Qiao Yu returned to his seat and picked up the mesh cutter to cut off the dot paper to be pasted.

The finished manuscripts were placed side by side on the floor around them. Yan Fan knew that this was drying the ink on the manuscript.

"Sister Yan, don't you receive the manuscript tomorrow? The manuscript is not finished yet...it may take a few hours. You can find a seat yourself." Shen Xin glanced at Yan Fan, and then looked down.

"Can't you come over here and see? "Y's" is on the market, the scenery is infinite, you are indifferent." Yan Wei put the bag and the paper bag with letters on the ground, looked around, and found no chair, only a stool. Pull over and sit down first.

"What's there to care about?" Shen Xin put down the pen, drew out a paper towel, wiped the ink on his hand, and looked up at Yan Wei, ""Y's" has the ability to attract attention."

At this point, Shen Xin did not tell lies.

The serialization of "I"s has been very popular with readers in the past few years, and Gui Zhenghe is also known by many readers as the most cartoonist cartoonist in "jump".

It's a pity that Shen Xin's painter can't bring out the greatest charm of this comic, he can only hope that there will be a breakthrough later.

"Yes. In this issue of the questionnaire, "Y's" did get the first place, but... not much ahead of the second place." Yan Wei said with a wry smile.

"Ah? Isn't it?" Shen Xin was incredible.

Even if his painter is not as good as the original, the story is a good one, and the chapter breaks are just right.How come the votes are not high?

"I don’t know. It’s just 30 more votes than the second place. Although the sales of the magazine have actually increased a lot, several editors think it’s not about you. However, the questionnaires sent back There are really too few."

Thinking of this, Yan Wei was not in a good mood, especially that Li Jiming, who was in the office just now, said very firmly: "The sales volume this time has something to do with "Y's", but it is not too big, otherwise "Y's" will not be better than The second place leads by more than thirty votes. This only shows that "New World" bottomed out and will increase even if there is no "Y's."

Bottoming out?Ha ha……

Why didn't it rebound from the bottom in the previous issue?Li Jiming clearly resented Shen Xin's taking away Gong Yan's cursive color pages.

Yan Wei had no good impression of Li Jiming.

"Wait, sister Yan, are you saying that the sales of the magazines have gone up, but the questionnaires sent back have not increased?" Shen Xin was the first to hear such things.

"Yeah, to be precise, two or three thousand copies are missing." Yan Fan also sighed, and she hasn't figured out why.

"This is weird."

The more magazines are sold, the more questionnaires are sent out. Logically speaking, there should be more questionnaires sent back.

"Cough... I should be able to explain one or two of these doubts raised by Teacher Yan." Qiao Yu, who posted the dotted paper, sat upright and turned to Yan Wei and Shen Xin.

"What's the reason?" Yan Fan wondered.

Ruan Ying, who was standing in the background, also looked up at Qiao Yu, her eyes full of curiosity.

Qiao Yu pulled out a paper towel to wipe off the ink on his hand, and a smile appeared on his face.

"My neighbor is just in high school now and is also a comic fan. I went home two days ago and I met him. He just bought a copy of "New World". The work of Teacher Shen was published in this issue, so I also I want to know what they think of this comic. As a result, my neighbor said that he bought this magazine home for collection and bought one before."

"I bought one, why did he still buy it?" Yan Fan was puzzled.

Shen Xin also nodded, and he was also curious.

"He said that the previous book was torn and used for publicity, so he bought another one for special collection."

Propaganda of God TM!

Shen Xin has a black line.

He could understand another collection, but after tearing another one off, what the hell was it for publicity?This is an authentic boy cartoon, not a book.

"I asked him again, which comic is the best to see, he can't say anything, and then I asked directly how about "Y's"? He said he didn't read it."

Hearing Qiao Yu's words, Yan Fan speculated that ""Y's" is placed on the scroll color page, and readers can't not know... Are they shy?"

Shen Xin rolled his eyes in depression, and the characters he painted did not show any dew points. What's so shy about?

"It is possible, after all, Mr. Shen's paintings are not the same as others, and they are somewhat realistic. Many high school students have experienced these crushes, so even if they like them in their hearts, they will not be easily revealed." Ruan Ying said suddenly.
